Resolution, Schmezolution

Jenny's revving up for the New Year with her Saturday Centus prompt this week, and I like it! Hope you do, too. (Said prompt, as always, is in red.)

Resolution, Schmezolution

Resolution! Schmezolution!

This year, I’m resolved

to make no resolutions

because failure is involved.

No plans, no goals, no promises.

No journal, chart, or list.

No calendar that goes unstarred

for every day I’ve missed.

No weekly ruminations over

changes not achieved.

No self-defeating burials

of good intentions grieved.

No self-recrimination or

disparagement at all.

No personal experience

of how the mighty fall.

No feeling like a loser as

the year rolls to an end.

No starting fresh on New Year’s Day

and trying to pretend.

‘Cause this time WON’T be different.

Join my cause and face the facts.

The Resolution Revolution:

"Just give goals the axe."
